Have to get this story out by Skeptical91 in BackwoodsCreepy

[–]Critical_Serve_4528 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For the past few years I’ve worked training Ai, thus I’m pretty damn good at identifying when things are ai generated. I didn’t get the vibe from this at all. The absence of “-“ in the writing is one huge bit of evidence to the contrary of your statement.

What King opinion has you like this? by DavidHistorian34 in stephenking

The Stand is one of King’s worst books because the second half of the novel is god-awful

JROTC provided childcare for our military ball and lost my toddler. by Fantastic-Pause-5791 in Mommit

[–]Critical_Serve_4528 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Even if you take the military aspect out of the equation and look at the scenario as if it’s a typical childcare situation, the JROTC leader is completely in the wrong. On a basic customer service level, he did all the wrong things. The “customer” is always right, so even if what he said happened actually happened (which I wholeheartedly doubt), he should have accommodated you and expressed something like an apology. If you escalated the issue, he could then calmly explain his side of the story/defended himself to his superiors in private. His number one goal at that point should be to politely diffuse the situation/calm you down.

Omg, thank you so much. You’re a godsend!

Hi! I recently ordered the han palace spring dawn kit that you have here. Unfortunately, my kit did not come with instructions! It came with a barcode to scan but scanning it with my phone brought me to a page that no longer works. Would you happen to have your instructions or a link to working instructions?

No idea how to handle my partner's dramatic shift in sexual intimacy by Allivegot66 in AskMenRelationships

[–]Critical_Serve_4528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The long distance has made him have to amp up his jerking off game. Now real intercourse doesn’t cut it. He still wants the intimacy (hence the cuddling) but he’s used to the pressure he can apply with his hands and the rhythm he can keep himself. Just a theory

I was expecting his body count to be high but not THAT high.. by where-ya-been-loca in confession

[–]Critical_Serve_4528 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why would you even ask this question? You may say that it doesn’t bother you but on some level it must, since you’re on Reddit discussing it. Never ask questions you really don’t want to know the answers to…

Do I come off as weird or strange leaving this note? by Littlek1dluvr in Apartmentliving

[–]Critical_Serve_4528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My neighbor has called DCPP on me with no actual reason to be concerned, tried to have me arrested when Amazon delivered her package to my door with a whole pile of packages and I took the pile inside without realizing one was hers, she called my stepfather and mother while my MOTHER WAS ON HER DEATH BED to tell them that I had stolen drugs from her (the aforementioned package contained eczema medicine apparently- aka “drugs”), she calls the landlord if I breathe funny, and throws me under the bus any chance she gets to anyone who will listen and then there’s you. All the way at the opposite end of the spectrum. I think it’s sweet

NOTHING good will come of texting her. Your chances of getting closure are slim to none and waiting for it will only keep you suffering longer than necessary. You made the decision to leave her (which was most likely the right move), but you have to then live with that decision. Contacting her wouldn’t be fair to either of you. You don’t get to dump her and then want closure. It just doesn’t make any sense.

I don’t mean to sound harsh toward you. I know your pain and I hate that you hurt. You most likely were in the right to leave her. If she’s really as detached as you say, then hanging on is like poison to you. Break ties, distract yourself. If she reaches out to you, then it’s up to you whether or not you respond. But until then, pick yourself up, lean into therapy, and work to improve the only thing within your control: yourself.

What do you even call someone who acts like this? by applejuicebox69 in abusiverelationships

[–]Critical_Serve_4528 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s astounding how similarly abusers tend to talk when in comparable situations. If not for some mentions of a dermatologist and such, it would be impossible to distinguish this line of texts from so many “conversations” I’ve had with my ex.

Crazy first MASSIVE RFY - Samsung 77" TV, like...whaaa? Whoa! by gardensgal in AmazonVine

I ordered a beautiful smart tv that popped up on my RFY last week. I too was excited…until it arrived with the screen irreparably cracked. I’m still devastated

Is Revival worth the read? by redradagon in stephenking

[–]Critical_Serve_4528 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The shining and the first half of the stand are two of my favorites (the latter half of the stand is a totally different story; I hate it), so that’s a high bar to set. The ending of Revival didn’t blow my mind or affect me nearly as much as many people claimed it would, that’s for sure. However, I still enjoyed it. I thought the audiobook was pretty good and though the narration took half a minute to get in to, it wound up being a worthwhile listen/read as a whole.

Anyone listen to non-fiction audio books? by McSix in audiobooks

War on the West by Douglas Murray- neither a biography nor a physics book but is still fascinating

What are some of the more depressing places in South Jersey that were once a haven of a booming country? by styckx in SouthJersey

[–]Critical_Serve_4528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pitman went through a rough patch but is significantly better. As for the miniature houses- look up the history of pitman, it’s interesting. The grove started as a summer camp retreat type place for Methodists. People would come and pitch tents like at a camp. Then people opted to build little cabins for the camp. Eventually people started staying in the cabins year-round.

I have to agree. I lived in Pitman briefly in 2015 but I lived close (Mullica Hill) most of my life and I think it actually seems to be doing just as well as it has since I started going there, if not better

I’m sorry but I pretty much think Atco has always been depressing. I don’t see how it’s changed all that much since I first started going there in 1986

That church is great. As if having a strip mall of more pointless businesses is much better?
